What do reviewers say about Poison and Amber Elixir?

Sweet enough to draw people in, complex enough to split opinion. That's not a flaw, that's the point. Poison wears like a dare, and the wearer who chooses it knows exactly what they're carrying.Poison

Some will smell the marzipan and stop there. That's the trap. Beneath the almond and powder is a quiet warmth that outlasts the conversation and makes you feel utterly at home.Amber Elixir
